A new book to house this year's (and future years) NationalPoetryMonth's daily poems.
I'm writing once again this year. This book is my special event place for thirty special poems.

Here for National Poetry Month in 2018, I'm participating but life has not been kind in the last 15 months, so I'm not always in writing mode.

who other than Dr. Seuss added blue
dye to scrambled eggs
fuchsia is a lovely color not only
suited for blossoms

more orphaned children, asylum refused,
Liberty's dream is shrinking

it takes hours to say goodbye,
not destined to become farewell,
like a fading rose, clouds marring sunset
silk headscarves to wipe tears

then a few more zealots dropped
more bombs ...

rain aphrodisiac, a carafe of Bordeaux,
soft jazz illuminating candlelight,
thunder fails but sudden lightning
blinds the sweetness

... where hope is trapped by the thorns
of rubble ...

birdsong and gardens are untimely,
beauty pushes through somehow
the notion of Eden was born with the skies,
oceans and continents

... in a world where death gains a trophy
for mundaneness



So many closed doors
